" My god! Jesus! ", she exclaimed inaudibly as she opened her eyes, just to witness Shivaay hands squeezing Annika's bum. She turned around to welcome one more horror. Rudy.

Immediately, she blocked him. Rudra jumped back in astonishment. " Didi, you scared me ", he told keeping his right palm above his heart. " You cannot enter the kitchen! ", she informed spreading her arms in air to block the path.

" Didi. Are you alright ? ", he doubted looking at her hands, and face, simultaneously. " I need you to know something ", she started, a little stuttering.

" Only him ? ", Omkara came beside Rudra. Mallika shook her head from side to side in defeat. Seeing her dubious face, Omkara added, " We're not leaving until you tell us what's wrong, and don't try lying to me ". Rudra nodded as supporting his elder brother.

" Wait here. Both of you, do not move! ", she told moving back to have a peek inside the kitchen. Shivaay ran his right hand down Annika's legs, and inched them apart to make room for him to trail up insides of her thighs, above the tight denim jean. Mallika's heart pounded inside her rib cage.

" Mallika! ", Omkara voiced out. " Lower your damn voice, Om. You might spoil their moment ", she chided, blocking them again.

" Henh ? Di, are you fine ? What's with you ? ", Rudra scratched his head. " I'm fine. Stop asking ", Mallika scowled, pushing the hair strands off her face.

" I'm done asking you, Mallika. Let me see what you're hiding from us ", Omkara hit down her hand to walk ahead. " Shivaay and Annika—— ", she paused, and Om stopped to listen to further.

" They're making out. In the kitchen ", she finished looking everywhere but them. Omkara, and Rudra stood numb to grasp the information. They glanced at each other. Time to get awkward, like shit!

" Okay. Let's be mature ", Mallika sounded spontaneously somewhat uncomfortably. " We—we need to stop them. I mean, Om please help me ", said Rudra helplessly.

" They'll run out of the Mansion in embarrassment. And, don't be heartless, Rudy. A, one from you both must distract the elders from entering the kitchen. B, one from you both should stand with me like a —— ", before Mallika could finish Rudra interrupted, " Shield. Like a shield. Right ? ".

" Exactly! Now divide the work! ", Mallika hurried them. " I'll——No. Rudy will accompany you. I'll keep the elders away from here. All the best, Rudra! ", Omkara sprinted leaving an unwieldy little brother behind.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen. " God! I love you ", Shivaay said trailing his fingers down to her thigh. Annika moaned into his mouth. Their mouth engaged in a determined kiss whilst his hands travelled inside her white embroidered top to press her globes. She wheezed, and he increased the urgency.

Omkara who came to the hall, scratched his forehead in tension. Now, he needs the most unlikely friend of him. A lie. " Da..Dadi! Mom! Chotti Maa! ", he exclaimed in fake pain, and fell straight on the sofa, head on dadi's lap. He kept his legs on his mother's lap, and held Pinky's hand who kneeled down worriedly.

Annika tilted her head, and Shivaay pressed his lips on her sensitive neck. " I love you, Shivaay ", she breathed hard pushing his face into her crook. Shivaay's lips curved up against her skin. " I love you too, Annie ", he confessed taking her skin between his teeth.

Mallika, and Rudra were inwardly crying out in awkwardness. Rudra tightly shut his eyes, and ears when he heard groans from the kitchen. " Didi, they're making sounds ", Rudra almost cried. He may claimed to be the child of the house but he's mature enough to understand moans, groans, and skeleton bones.

" Rudra! Shut up! ", Mallika hit his arm. " I can't believe this. My bhaiyya, and bhabhi are doin—— ", he stopped as Mallika glowered at him.

" The term is not doing. It's making. Your bhaiyya, and bhabhi are making out! ", Mallika pressured the last words to tease him. " Didi please! ", he whined seeing her smug smile.

" What ? Don't tell me, you never had a make out. At least a quickie ? ", Mallika poked his abs with her index tip. " Didi, I flirt. That's it. But, this is too much! The—— ", he abruptly stopped as they heard series of muffled breathing. Mallika bit her bottom lip to control her laugh. " Just too much! ", he finished with difficultly.

" Such a flirtatious virgin. I'm surprised, Rudy! ", Mallika patted his shoulder. " Impressed, is the word, didi! ", he pouted.

" I'm going to die! ", Omkara trembled as if taking his last breath. " Chup kar! ", Dadi rebuked smacking his head. " I'll get some waters. You waits here ", Pinky informed but Om pulled her back. Kitchen, the horror.

" Chotti Maa! Please stay with me. I exactly saw you beside me, holding my hand whilst I'm dying. In my dream, last night! ", he fake cried holding her hand. Dadi, Pinky, and Jhanvhi stared at him. Omkara inwardly cursed his brother for making him lie nonsense. But, he won't curse his Bhabhi, no matter what. Oh his Pyaari Bhabhi.

" We need to stop ", Annika giggled as Shivaay rubbed his beard on her cleavage. " Tonight. Don't come to me saying, Shivaay it's movie night, Shivaay it's family time, Shivaay some words with Mallika! You're strictly not allowed to accompany anyone tonight! You get that ?! ", he warned tying the knot above her chest.

" Aww! ", she pulled his cheeks. He frowned adjusting their hair. " I'm all yours, Billuji. Now, give me the beautiful smile ", she smiled pulling his earlobes. He gave a toothy smile, and squeezed her in a hug. Mallika who came to notice them sighed in relief.

" Rudy. Let's leave! They're done! ", Mallika informed tugging his wrist.
" Are you sure, didi ? They're terribly unpredictable ", Rudra sounded doubtful remembering some incident. Oh! How many times, mercilessly he played the role of hindrance in their moments.

" We need to leave! ", Mallika, and Rudra ran away hearing the footsteps from the kitchen. Omkara who saw Mallika, and Rudra immediately sat straight. They gave a signal of sigh. " I'm perfectly fine ", he said happily to earn head smacks from Dadi, Pinky, and Jhanvhi. Rudra mentally laughed. Evilly. For once, he thanked hai bhaiyya, and bhabhi!

Rudra sandwiched himself between Omkara, and Mallika. They glanced at each other. " Hey guys! ", Shivaay greeted, along with Annika. Rudra gulped, and pulled Om, Mallika closer. " My eyes are working horrible. I'm noticing things ", he whispered.

" What do you mean, Rudra ? ", Omkara asked confused at his words. " The mark on Bhabhi's neck ", he whispered embarrassedly whilst Om gave a hard head smack without anyone's notice. Om moved aside. He couldn't help but noticing the mark. Darn you Rudra!

" Now. Don't tell me that you'd never experienced a hickey. Don't disappoint me, Rudy! " Mallika teased him. " Didi, you better stop this. Please. My romeogiri and these stuffs has no connections ", he whined.

" Shivaay, Annika! Where were you twos ? This Omkara choked our peace. I'm starving in hungry now! ", Pinky complained glaring at Omkara. For which he pressed a nervous smile.

" We were surfing some online stuffs for her upcoming event, Mom. We forgot to keep a check on time ", Shivaay smiled whilst Annika smiled along. What a lie!

" Hey Bhagwan! Bhaiyya spoiled our all time innocent, naive, Bhabhi ", Rudra left fake whimpers. Omkara, and Mallika nodded. Truth is a truth, well.

" Mom, I'll cook the lunch for us. Annika come ", Shivaay spoke. " Not again!! ", Mallika, Rudra, and Omkara screamed standing up from the sofa.

" We—actually why not us ? I mean why not let's all cook together ? We three, and you two. Total five ", Omkara managed to speak a stupid reason, shooing away everyone's confusions. In kitchen, Mallika, and Omkara were silently chopping the bell peppers. Rudra was doing nothing but observing the two anytime-anywhere PDA couple.

" Annika, bring the white pepper. From the second slab ", Annika nodded for Shivaay, and moved behind. Shivaay immediately added the right amount of spice in the dish before she could come back or notice. " Wow! Shivaay, it's ekdum— ", Annika exclaimed in happiness whilst tasting the dish.

" Khidkitod! ", he smiled finishing the sentence. The other three couldn't help but go aww in their love. Annika knew he corrected the dish, and so him. They love being imperfect, they love making happy faults.

All of a sudden, Rudra's eyes widened as Shivaay's hand glided on Annika's waist whilst stirring the dish, standing behind her. " I can never forget this day. This place, Annika! ", he pecked her cheek whilst she blushed.

" Even we can't forget this day. This place! ", Mallika, Rudra, and Omkara thought looking at each other with an awkward smile.

The End.
